I have an almost 3yr gap in my work history. May 12 of 2012 I was in an almost fatal car accident, which completely destroyed my right hip. I just recently(2/18/15) had to have a total hip replacement because of the damage that was done. I have any documents that you may need to prove my absence in work history.
Gap in Work History. 2005/2008
I ran my great grandfathers farm. i still hadn't decided on what I wanted to go to college for. My great grandaddy had become very sick at the time and couldn't maintain the farm. It was the hardest 3 yrs of work I have ever experienced in my life,I don't understand how my great granddaddy did that for 88yrs.
Background I do have a criminal record. Cut and dry. No violent charges or anything like that. Not to try and sugar coat this fact about me,but I did get a brief sentence in the department of corrections for possession of controlled substance. I actually didn't have to spend my time in the state prison,but I got to go through the boot camp program. That was the best thing to happen to me other than my only son being born. There I got to learn a lot of things most privileged kids aren't taught. Life skills and being accountable for ones own actions. I hope that this doesn't pre judge me or hinder me from becoming a valuable member of your company. Everyone has a past,some better than others.
